[PATCH 2/2] news: Promote some things to a general section

Date range search may be implemented as a library change, but it's an
important user-facing change that affects all notmuch usage.  Tag name
restrictions aren't as important, but they affect both the CLI
interface and the Emacs interface.

 =========================
 
+General
+-------
+
+Date range search support
+
+  The `date:` prefix can now be used in queries to restrict the results
+  to only messages within a particular time range (based on the Date:
+  header) with a range syntax of `date:<since>..<until>`. Notmuch
+  supports a wide variety of expressions in `<since>` and
+  `<until>`. Please refer to the `notmuch-search-terms(7)` manual page
+  for details.
+
+Empty tag names and tags beginning with "-" are deprecated
+
+  Such tags have been a frequent source of confusion and cause
+  (sometimes unresolvable) conflicts with other syntax.  notmuch tag
+  no longer allows such tags to be added to messages.  Removing such
+  tags continues to be supported to allow cleanup of existing tags,
+  but may be removed in a future release.
